   Author Jonathan Hirsch on Squeezed

   Juggling a demanding career and a young family is already overwhelming. But what happens when you add caring for an estranged parent to the equation? That’s exactly what happened to podcaster Jonathan Hirsch, author of The Mind is Burning, when his father Thomas was diagnosed with dementia. Jonathan’s parents raised him in a cult, and were largely absent from his life growing up. Now, he’s had to navigate the logistics, guilt, and grief that comes with caring for someone who never truly cared for you.

   Author Charlie Sheen on Fail Better with David Duchovny

   Charlie Sheen is an actor perhaps known just as well for his off-screen antics as his on-screen performances. In his new memoir, The Book of Sheen, Charlie is finally coming clean on what was going on during his years of hard drugs, public divorces, and on-set disputes that came to define his later career and reputation. These days, humility, gratitude, and sobriety have come to replace his meme-able bravado. Sitting on stage with him at the 92nd Street Y in NYC, he and David Duchovny shared jokes and jabs as David sought to discover why he chose to tell his story now — and why he took such a unique literary approach. Plus, they discuss the turning point that sent him on the road to recovery, and Charlie tells us what his one “do-over” in life would be — the answer might surprise you.

Like, do you want your cereal swimming in it? Or are you like, I just interesting. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'd rather the cereal to milk ratio. I prefer more cereal than milk. Same. Like, I don't I'm not someone who wants to, like, watch my cereal swim or no, no, no, no. Because then I want to have to like, because then it's just done. Then it's basically over soup. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't agree with you more. […]
